Retirement for Cause Inspection System Design. Volume 2. Appendices (Phase IV. Engineering Specifications).

Abstract

A design study has been conducted to establish an engineering specification for an integrated inspection system that will be used to implement the Retirement for Cause (RFC) maintenance philosophy on gas turbine engine disks and spacers. The system specified by this study emphasizes equipment reliability, flexibility, component throughput and accountability required for 1985 overhaul facility implementation through an Air Force manufacturing technology program. NDE technology needs for far term (post-1985) overhaul implementation of optimal RFC inspections are discussed in terms of necessary research programs which should be conducted in parallel to the manufacturing technology effort. Keywords: Retirement for Cause, Nondestructive Evaluation, F100 Engine, Engine Maintenance, Eddy Current, Ultrasonic Test, Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection, Automated Facility.
